Roper Dryer leaking water
If your Roper dryer is leaking water, start by checking the fill hose and its connections — an outside-the-cabinet leak is most often a cracked or loose fill hose or missing rubber washers and is usually fixed by replacing the hose and resealing the fittings. If the leak appears inside the drum, the nozzle that sprays the hot mist is the next suspect; inspect it for cracks and replace it if damaged. Don’t assume the dryer is the source if yours is a non steam model — check for other water sources first. A damaged steam generator can also leak into the drum, and loose hose connectors deserve a close look and tightening or new washers. Less commonly, a cracked water inlet valve inside the cabinet will cause internal leaks and should be replaced if its housing is damaged. If you need parts, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to pull up the exact replacement parts and get step by step guidance for your specific dryer.
01 - Roper Dryer Fill Hose
A water leak that is coming from outside the dryer cabinet may be caused by a damaged fill hose. Inspect the hose for small cracks or holes and confirm the hose is secured firmly to the inlet valve. A damaged hose will need to be replaced with a new one. If needed, install new rubber washers at the ends of the hose for a water tight seal.

02 - Roper Dryer Nozzle
A water leak inside the dryer drum may be caused by a faulty nozzle, the component used to spray the hot mist. Inspect the nozzle for any cracks or signs of visible damage and replace the old nozzle with a new one if required.
Highly Likely
03 - Check for other sources of leaks
A non steam dryer is not connected to water and will not cause a leak. Look for other sources of leaks.
Common
04 - Roper Dryer Steam Generator
A water leak inside the dryer drum may be caused by a faulty or damaged steam generator, the component that converts the incoming water supply to steam. Inspect the steam generator for any cracks in the housing and replace if visibly damaged.
Common
05 - Loose hose connector
Check and tighten hose connections. Install new rubber washers if needed.
Common
06 - Roper Dryer Water Inlet Valve
A water leak that is coming from inside the dryer cabinet is likely caused by a damaged water inlet valve. Inspect the valve for any cracks in the housing and confirm the valve hoses are secured firmly to the valve and are in good condition. If the inlet valve's housing is cracked or damaged, the component should be replaced with a new one.
